Currently, using a FME floating licence requires each individual organisation to set up a dedicated licence server :

The setup of such a licence server is, per se, not very complicated, but frequently involves discussions / challenges wrt setup of a dedicated VM / re-use of an existing VM, security on the opening of ports, etc.., which also often require the involvement of a tech profile (e.g. system administrator).

Wouldn’t it be easier to have a global licence server hosted on the cloud, and managed directly by Safe, which could be accessed without any specific tech challenges by all individual FME instances ?

If some organisations still prefer to have an internal licence server, it could also be interesting to allow both options : a licence server managed by the organisation itself or the global Safe licence server.
